Prominent Israeli rabbis and heads of yeshivas have established a special hotline to provide legal and religious guidance to religious soldiers serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The initiative, launched following an emergency meeting in Sderot, aims to address the challenges faced by religious servicemen, particularly concerning the integration of men and women in combat units.
The hotline will offer legal support, halachic (Jewish law) consultations, and immediate assistance to soldiers encountering difficulties within their military units. The meeting, attended by influential spiritual leaders including Rabbis Joshua Shapira, David Fendel, Eliyakim Levanon, Tzvi Kostiner, David Dudkevich, and Yigal Levinstein, also discussed strategies to prevent the joint service of men and women in certain IDF roles.
Rabbi David Fendel, head of the Sderot yeshiva, emphasized the importance of organized action and independent initiatives in safeguarding religious values, even outside traditional governmental frameworks. Dror Aryeh, a representative of the Oz beNAMER staff, stated that there is complete consensus within the religious community on this issue and stressed the need to communicate clear boundaries to the IDF command.
Representatives from the staff of soldiers' wives for the sanctity of the military camp, associated with the Hotam organization, highlighted the absence of an official body within the army responsible for overseeing adherence to religious norms. They welcomed the hotline as a crucial resource for soldiers and expressed hope that Defense Minister Israel Katz and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir would address the situation and implement corrective measures.
